 ***Safety Note: Please use a good quality dust and aerosol mask to avoid breathing in hazardous fumes. ***

Using Rustoleum® Sail Blue enamel spray paint, the first layer was applied lightly over the primed under coat in a back and forth motion to achieve a more smooth uniform finish on the Sonotube®, which also minimized drips and runs. Please allow proper time between coats before applying the next. All areas and holes on the tube not needing this Sail Blue paint were patched or plugged to prevent contamination from over-spray.
